Fighting Poultry vermin i'm Summer.

Frequently the most difficult work
of the poultry man is that of Kidding

do not become aware of the presence oil

destroyed by using proper methods.
The great scourge of poultry is not the

ANU -EMENTS.

CLUNIE OPERA HoUsE.-The Tin Sol.
der" played here year ago by Hoitt 4
Thomas company. was reproduced last
night under the same direction, but the
people, with two exceptions we believe. are
new here and were not of the troupe last
year. The changes have not been retro
gressive. There was large audience one
section of the house especially being full TO
overfiowing. The piece is the veriest nom
sense possible to imagine, but with a keen
vein of satire in its burlesque, of which
plumbers are the chief objects of assault
and ridicule. There is singing, dancing
and character acting to repletion through
cut the piece. For indulgence in absurdity,
nonsensical laughter, provoked mainly by
che most unnatural events and the impos-
si5le of situations, the burlesque will serve.
The audience appeared to enjoy the per-
Torrance heartily and laughed with SINGER
ity. 1t is quite evident that people prefer to
be amused now and then rather than en-
tertained at all times in theaters, simply
and solely for amnsement's sake The
piece has not a thought or sentiment in it
TO provoke mental or intellectual effort,
and possibly ii is because this is true that
the extravaganza draws so well, since it IS
precisely the opposite of thoughtfulness,
and calls Tor neither mental nor 1ntelle ctual
labor. 1t is announced as only an effort TO
present q few character sketches in an
amusing form, and that end is certainly
fully attained by some very competent
comedians. A matinee to-day at two
O'Clock, with prices at fifty cents, and
twenty-five cents for children. Tonight
the last appearance of the company here
will be had.
METRoPoLITAE THEArEE.-Philip Phil

audience last night, and the photo-opticon
and song entertainment was on level with
that of the first night There will be a
matinee entertainment this afternoon at
o'clock of a varied character, and in which
some of the very best ct the fine views will
be shown. Tonight concludes Mr.. Phillips

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
The Contract for the New Bridge Acros
the American River Awarded


The Board of Supervisors met at 10
A. N. yesterday, all the members present.
District Attorney Bruner, to whom had
been referred the question, - Is the Ameri-
can river navigable stream ?" appeared
before the Board, and said that in his opin-
ion the navigability of any stream would
have to be established by evidence.
Captain j. C. Rodgers stated to the Board
that few years ago he assembled the Amer
can in the steamer Daisy, owned by John
T. Cardwell, to point just this side of the
town of Folsom. He said the river could
be, in his opinion, successfully navigated
for five months each year.
Judge benson appeared for J. b. Haggin
and Others, and opposed the draw on
the ground that IL would be adding an I'M
necessary expense that would have to be
borne by the taxpayers.
John MackeY testified that the river had
filled in fully ten feet since the Daisy made
her memorable trip, and to-day duck
boat could not navigate any portion of it.
Mr.. Cardwell commended that the putting
of draw in the bridge would enable
steamers and barges to bring gravel and
cobbleS to this city at a greatly reduced
rate, and said the contractors would put in
a draw of 40 or so feet at either end of the
bridge for the price named in the contract
Supervisor Bates offered the following,
which was adopted
Resolred, That in the matter of rebuilding the
Twelfthstree bridge over the American river
1t is hereby ordered that said bridge be rebuilt
Immediately at or near the present location.
The Committee on Contracts, to whom
was referred the bids, specifications and
plans for the construction of the new
bridge, reported in favor of the California
Bridge Company, their bid being the low
est and the plans and specifications the
best. Proposition No 2, $34, 697, was rec
commended for adoption.
On motion of Ross the report was unan-
imously adopted. The proposed new
bridge will consist of three spans, each 200
feet in length, iron and steel combination
trusses resting on iron cylinder and con-
crete piers, to be sunk to solid foundation.
The trusses will be set three feet higher
than the old bridge. The roadway will be
twenty feet wide in the clear Each span
is designed to carry 40 tons. The hight of
the trusses will be forty feet from the floor.
President Tebbets was instructed to enter
into contract with A. W. Burrell, Presi-
dent of the California Bridge Company.
His bond for the faithful performance of
the work was fixed at $4,000. He was
given four months time to fulfill his con-
tract.
Supervisor McMullen offered the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, request has been made to this
Board that Il draw be constructed in the county
bridge now spanning the American river at
Twelfth street. and. whereas this Board cannot
determie the questions involved therein; there
fore,
Resolued, That when it shall be determined
that a draw is necessary in said bridge then
this Board will cause suitable draw to be con
struCted therein.
